[All templates and checklists](https://sociana.in/templates/) ## Questions people ask How many questions make a good quiz? Ten to fifteen. Longer quizzes lose people who are out of the running. Offer a bonus round near the end so players can still catch up, and keep the total under twenty minutes. Should I mix company and general questions? Yes. General questions help everyone take part, while company questions reward those who know the business. A mix of roughly three general to one company question works well. How do I stop people searching online? Short timers help, along with questions about your company or about the room. You can also make the quiz team-based, so nobody has time to look things up while debating. ## Want this running inside your event app?
